I live from All About Berlin since a few years. It was and still is a labour of love, but now it also pays the bills.

A few subprojects like my citizens' office appointment finder and my form fillers also qualify. I really enjoyed working on those, and they got me a lot of goodwill from some city employees.

I remember i have found this site by doing some research on Google, regarding enterprise creation in DE

Really nice website !

Can you tell us how you got the idea, when you started, are you enterprise or solo ? How do you manage taxes ? Are you german ?

These were the questions i was asking myself when i discovered your site

I started 7 years ago as a side project. It was always as a solo business. It runs like a regular business so I pay VAT and income tax. I'm not German - I'm not even a permanent resident yet. I know about most of those things from direct experience as an immigrant.
